WHAT EATS A DINOSAUR?

Nothing eats dinosaurs, because dinosaurs are extinct. That means they no longer exist. The last dinosaurs died out around 60 million years ago.

However, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, most species, or kinds, of them had predators, or natural enemies. All of the animals that ate dinosaurs were other dinosaurs.

The most famous dinosaur predator was Tyrannosaurus rex, which looked like the model in the photo above. T. Rex was the top, or apex predator of its time. However, there were many other species of predatory dinosaurs as well.

And, what do dinosaurs eat? Nothing, because they are extinct! But when they were alive, some dinosaurs ate vegetation, while others ate other dinosaurs.

An OMNIVORE is an animal that mixes vegetation and other animals into its diet.

ALL FOOD ENERGY STARTS WITH THE SUN

A food web—every food web—begins with sunlight. Plants turn that sunlight into usable food energy, and that energy is transfered to the herbivorous animals that eat those plants. When those plant eating animals are themselves eaten by predators, the energy is transfered higher up the food chain and becomes concentrated in the bodies of the top, or apex, predators.
The apex predators return energy to the food web after they die and their bodies are consumed by scavengers, fungi and microbes.
